Morning Weekenders, delicious cup of hot Cuban going.

I have endured about the worst week of my life and undoubtedly Thursday was the worst day of my life.  Son, Warden and I are all just devastated.  The boy is young and resilient and will get over it but the wife and I will probably never totally recover from this loss.

Never had a dog and this is one of the reasons. Although I'm sure the years that he was with you were worth the pain you're feeling now. I truly feel terrible for you.

Pretty chilly here too this morning and I don't believe we'll see highs anywhere near yours.

Good morning, SCDave.

good morning guys.
yesterday was a God day. I got to make the Grand Re-opening of the Pesky Pelican. so nice to see Jewel, Chuck, and Mo. the place is lovely, plenty of comfortable seating, lots of parking. soon their regular menu will be up and I'll be able to do the Prime Rib Friday. their liver and onions are on the menu Wednesday, and meatloaf. I ran into a friend there that has a BnB that is finally remodeled after the last hurricane (Micheal?). got to visit with her too and see her lovely little cottage. I even hit Lynn's Oysters for garlic scrimp, and Oysters Rockefeller. of course the trip wasn't complete without stopping at Carrabelle Beach. finished the trip with homemade strawberry ice cream and coffee off a food truck in Perry. God was good to me yesterday.

Today is Saturday, April 27, the 117th day of 2019. There are 248 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:
On April 27, 1978, 51 construction workers plunged to their deaths when a scaffold inside a cooling tower at the Pleasants Power Station site in West Virginia fell 168 feet to the ground.

On this date:
In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed by natives in the Philippines.
In 1791, the inventor of the telegraph, Samuel Morse, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts.
In 1865, the steamer Sultana, carrying freed Union prisoners of war, exploded on the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee; death toll estimates vary from 1,500 to 2,000.
In 1941, German forces occupied Athens during World War II.
In 1950, Britain formally recognized the state of Israel.
In 1965, broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow died in Pawling, New York, two days after turning 57.
In 1968, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey declared his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president, less than a month after President Lyndon B. Johnson said he would not run for re-election.
In 1978, convicted Watergate defendant John D. Ehrlichman was released from an Arizona prison after serving 18 months.
In 1982, the trial of John W. Hinckley Jr., who shot four people, including President Ronald Reagan, began in Washington. (The trial ended with Hinckley's acquittal by reason of insanity.)
In 1992, the new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was proclaimed in Belgrade by the republic of Serbia and its lone ally, Montenegro. Russia and 12 other former Soviet republics won entry into the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Betty Boothroyd became the first female Speaker of Britain's House of Commons.
In 2006, construction began on the 1,776-foot Freedom Tower at the site of the World Trade Center in New York City.
In 2011, powerful tornadoes raked the South and Midwest; according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, more than 120 twisters resulted in 316 deaths.

Ten years ago: A 23-month-old Mexico City toddler died at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, becoming the first swine-flu death on U.S. soil. A strong earthquake struck central Mexico, rattling nerves among residents already tense from a swine flu outbreak. One of President Barack Obama's Air Force One jets, a Boeing 747, and an F-16 fighter jet panicked New Yorkers as they circled over lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty for what turned out to be a photo op. General Motors announced plans to cut 21,000 hourly jobs and scrap the Pontiac brand.

Five years ago: Two 20th-century popes who'd changed the course of the Roman Catholic church become saints as Pope Francis honored John XXIII and John Paul II; Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI joined him in the first celebration of Mass by a serving and retired pontiff in the church's 2,000-year history. In a rare acknowledgement, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the Nazi Holocaust "the most heinous crime" of modern history. A tornado tore through parts of Arkansas, killing 16 people. Lydia Ko birdied the final hole for her third LPGA Tour victory and first as a professional in the inaugural Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, three days after celebrating her 17th birthday.

One year ago: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made history by crossing over to South Korea to meet with President Moon Jae-in; it was the first time a member of the Kim dynasty had set foot on southern soil since the end of the Korean War in 1953. The Republican-led House Intelligence Committee released a lengthy report concluding that it found no evidence that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign. The members of the Swedish pop supergroup ABBA announced that they had recorded new material for the first time in 35 years, with two new songs.

Thought for Today: "The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it." — Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965).
